January 17, 2024, will be the 30th anniversary of the Northridge earthquake. Fillmore Museum is preparing a commemoration of this event which divested our town. As part of the commemoration we would like to collect stories, memories and photographs of the event. If you have any to share, please bring, mail or email them to us. Our mailing address is PO Box 314, Fillmore, 93016. Our email address is Fillmore.Museum@gmail.com. Photographs will be scanned and returned to you. We are planning both virtual and live events as part of this commemoration. Be on the lookout for more information as the date approaches.

The Fillmore Fire Department would like to remind all residents that the annual hot dry Santa Ana winds are quickly approaching. These winds can carry hot embers for very long distances. The Fire Department is encouraging everyone to evaluate their properties/yards for any hazardous vegetation and/or trash that may be present and remove the hazard. Besides trash this vegetation may be dry grass or brush, broken limbs on trees, or any flammable ornamental species often found growing around homes. To help facilitate the disposal of these hazards, the Fire Department is having a free drop off disposal day. All residents of Fillmore are encouraged to take advantage of this free opportunity.
On Saturday, September 30th, from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, all residents in the city may haul any trash, tree/brush trimmings direct to the Fillmore City Well #4 location at 728 Goodenough Rd. for free disposal. Any ornamental vegetation will also be accepted if it is free of any metal, plastic, or other trash. Separate piles of trash will be accepted if it is not mixed with vegetation.

Residents are especially encouraged to trim up palm trees by professional tree trimmers. Dead palm fronds can be especially hazardous when caught on fire, palm fronds will be accepted.
Any questions may be directed to the Fillmore Fire Chief at 524-1500 xt 226.

On Monday, September 11th, Fillmore City Fire Department held a memorial ceremony marking the 22nd anniversary of the terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001. The memorial began at 6:30am. The American flag was raised promptly at 6:55am. Let us remember the sacrifices made by so many that morning. From the everyday heroes who helped save perfect strangers, to the first responders who walked toward danger in hopes of helping anyone they could, they were all a shining example of how we can easily come together in times of national crisis. We will never forget those brave individuals, and we will never forget September 11th, 2001.

The Firefighters of your Fillmore City Fire Department would like to invite you to attend a memorial celebration marking the 22nd anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the United States, September 11th, 2001. As a nation, we were brought together in tragedy, captivated by the images of destruction, despair, fear, and raw emotion. The only images strong enough to help us cope with such devastation were the amazing images of unity, strangers helping strangers, heroism, and watching America’s front line of public servants run toward the face of danger. We invite you to join us this Saturday morning to remember the civilians, Firefighters, Police Officers, and Military Personnel who perished on that fateful day.

Let us remember the sacrifices made by so many that morning. From the everyday heroes who helped save perfect strangers, to the first responders who walked toward danger in hopes of helping anyone they could, they were all a shining example of how we can easily come together in times of national crisis. We will never forget those brave individuals, and we will never forget September 11th, 2001.

Gathering at the Fillmore Fire Station will start at 6:30am in the front. The American flag will be raised promptly at 6:55am followed by a County-wide radio broadcast of a remembrance.
Fillmore Fire Station 91 is located at 711 Landeros Lane. Refreshments will be served afterwards.
